This coat is a journey on its own with its Ups and Downs: Euphoria about the great pattern, followed by frustration due to the problems during the pattern buying process, replaced by pride about the nice first welt pockets ... and now this: The pockets are too low; and not only a little bit, but about 15-20cm too low. My only explanation is that i was so focussed to get the welt pockets right, that i didn't pay attention to anything else. This is another evidence that you shouldn't sew exhausted and late in the night .

However, i've slept over it one night. And my first frustration is gone. I've decided to sew the front again. Otherwise, i would be annoyed by the pockets and wouldn't wear the coat.

It seems that i was acting with some prophetic wisdom during fabric shopping. I still have enough fabric left, such that it is no problem to start again with the front.

So, it is a little bit annoying because everything went slowly but nicely together. But it won't stop me :-)
